Yeah, I know, it’s been a month since we last posted anything—a new record, if I’m not mistaken. But we’ve been busier than a Nottingham nightclub on ladies night, so you’ll have to forgive us. We’ll be back with our regularly scheduled programming shortly; until then, here’s a lyric from a Jason Isbell song, “Elephant,” that’s been haunting me of late:
I’ve buried her a thousand times, given up my place in line
But I don’t give a damn about that now.
There’s one thing that’s real clear to me: No one dies with dignity
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.
It reminds me of a line from Somerset Maugham’s The Razor’s Edge: “Nothing is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to delight in it while we still have it.”
Why so glum? I dunno. I’ll do my best to post happy thoughts tomorrow.
